I were erstonished, thought it was plain POD's

I were curius and lifted the fan off. MECH sampels... All 3 ....

And I have no clue about value or rareity of thouse - Only thing I know, never seen it before... And especially not in a set like this....

Yes I bought those from Silice - very cool sets, and I'd say extremely rare
